SpaceMonger can be used as a powerful command-line tool as well as merely a friendly point-and-click application. Below is a list of the command-line parameters that you can give to SpaceMonger and what each command-line parameter does.    Basic usage        spacemonger.exe [options] [path|actions...]    Command-line options      -h   -H   -?   --help Display this help information -e   --emergency Emergency mode: Use built-in English language and config files at all times; do NOT save any settings; and make no changes to the Registry -c config.xml   --config config.xml Use config.xml instead of current user's configuration file -r   --reset-config Reset current user's configuration file to default settings -l lang.xml   --lang lang.xml   -l xx   --lang xx Use lang.xml or xx instead of current user's preferred language -n   --no-save-config Do not change any configuration files under any circumstances. -wh   --window-hide Do not display SpaceMonger's main window. -wm   --window-min Display SpaceMonger's main window minimized. -wx   --window-max Display SpaceMonger's main window maximized. -ds   --debug-scanner This is an experts-only debugging option that can help you to determine the performance of the scanner on a given computer. It may be useful in determining whether a disk is physically dying, which is why the option has been left in. If this is enabled, then during a scan, SpaceMonger will display a colored square in the upper corner of the screen. The color can be used to determine exactly what SpaceMonger's scanner is doing at any given point: Black SpaceMonger is processing the results of a scan. (in SpaceMonger) Yellow SpaceMonger is waiting for FindFirstFile to return the first file in a directory. (in Windows: FindFirstFile) Orange SpaceMonger is waiting for FindNextFile to return another file in a directory. (in Windows: FindNextFile) Green SpaceMonger is processing file information returned by FindFirstFile/FindNextFile. (in SpaceMonger) Aqua SpaceMonger is waiting for Windows clean up after a single directory scan. (in Windows: FindClose) Blue SpaceMonger is waiting for Windows to return information about a reparse point (mount point or symbolic link). (in Windows: CreateFile, DeviceIoControl, or CloseHandle) Violet SpaceMonger is waiting for Windows to describe how a file is compressed or sparse. (in Windows: GetCompressedFileSize) In general, you should see a lot of flickering, but mostly orange and green, with an occasional spurt of blue or violet. If you see a lot of yellow and orange with very few other colors, and the scan seems to be a little slow, then you may have a dying disk. -- Process all successive arguments as paths / actions    About SpaceMonger actions      If a path or actions are given, SpaceMonger will immediately scan the path or process the actions when the program opens. You may specify only a path or actions but not both. Paths are identified by having / or \ in their name somewhere. A list of valid actions can be found here. Note that SpaceMonger can recognize Unicode command-line arguments, if your command-line processor supports Unicode.
